“I know EXACTLY which one of these pillars you MIGHT be hiding behind”

I’ll have Sir Patrick Stewart soliloquizing about space followed by a rad fanfare as I get breakfast.

Sounds pretty cool to me.

Frankly, I’d really like to play D&D 5e, but I can’t get anyone else to DM. Same for Call of Cthulhu 7e.

As far as systems I haven’t run before, I’m interested to see what MCDM’s system turns out to be.

Stars without Numbers seems cool (though I do prefer a system that lets me use dice I can’t find in a Monopoly box).

I own, but have not played (player or GM) the Avatar Legends system. It looks very lovingly put together, but I wish it hadn’t been built on Fate.

I’ve also got a neat little indie(?) system called Upwind that is very narrative focused, and has players sort of bet on suggested conflict outcomes against the GM with a hand of cards. Very interesting, but I haven’t had the bandwidth to get ready to run it for anyone.

But then we wouldn’t have the glory of the r/nostupidquestions post “is Stephen pronounced the same as Stephen?”

Imagine only knowing that a people in a tourist submarine died and learning the details through a muppet meme on a 196 forum

I kinda feel like Wes was the enlightened 24th century child who is validated, supported, and taken seriously by people who want him to succeed.

Except for when the writers just have the rest of the bridge crew be mean to him ("shut up, Wesley"). He makes a really good point in "Datalore" (S01E13) when telling Picard that if he was any other officer and not a teenager, his concerns about Lore impersonating Data would have been taken seriously.

We did skip a lot of Season 1, so maybe that helped my perception of him.

I use Handbrake to get my blurays into a format I can use on my Plex server so I can stream my physical media whenever I want.

Handbrake generates 10 previews for each file so you can get a sense of what it looks like, and it happened to be this frame.

There was someone who would reply to askreddit questions and spin up some story that always ended with his dad beating him with jumper cables no matter what the original question was about.

Beating your kids isn’t funny, but this guy’s stories were a riot.

I’ve been Takeshidude since I was maybe 11 back on Lego.com

Feels wrong to have any other name

Thanks for the advice here, folks.

I’ve got a technical roadblock getting my instance installed, and with stress at my job (of course also considering valid concerns raised here), I am not going to pursue running a fediverse instance at this point in time.

I plan to create this community on my instance (once I figure out how to get it running)
